Overall Meaning

The song "Fairytale" by Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell, featuring KMoney and Zyeq, is a love song about a relationship that feels like a fairytale but is not actually real. The song opens with KMoney singing about how if this is what dreaming is like, they want to stay sleeping forever. The dreamy feeling is attributed to being with the person they are in love with, but they are aware that it is all a fantasy. They acknowledge that the relationship is not real and will come to an end, but they still feel happy and loved in the moment.


The chorus repeats the message that the relationship is like a fairytale but is not real. The lyrics emphasize the good ending and the feeling of ascending, but the ending is inevitable, just like in a fairytale. The second verse talks about the couple's readiness to commit, but it's all just part of the story. Even though it's not real, they can't quit it because they are in love. The bridge talks about taking the jump with the person who makes them happy, and even though it's not real, they consider it a perfect love story.


Overall, "Fairytale" is a song about experiencing true love that feels like a magical fairytale but acknowledging its impermanence. It's about enjoying the moment and making memories that will last forever.
